Got to wrap up 2025 with the Spaulding and Rogers Speedy Gonzales blast over. Thanks @horivato and congratulations on running 1560 miles in 2025. Thanks for gifting this flash sheet to the shop too, Iâm excited to do more tattoos from this sheet in 2026. Thank you to all the clients who got tattooed at @bestwishestattoo_la in 2025, I look forward to seeing familiar faces and new ones in 2026đĽł
2 days back to back on these battle weapons. Christina sat like a champ and it made it a lot of fun to knock these out 2 days in a row. I donât post much big work (or really any work at all đ), but I love tattooing large projects as much as the tiny ones. Books are open, get in touch for your swords, flails, or any other medieval weapons youâve been waiting to get!
I had a great time making this single needle sword and California poppies for Dani. Dani has a bunch of my favorite tattoos. Iâm always interested in new projects, books are open for remaining August dates and September.
Thanks Katie for having me do this portrait of Bandit đ Dog portraits are on of my favorite tattoos, it always nice to hear about peopleâs pets and their relationship. Single needle portraits can capture so much fine detail, but itâs all about starting with a great photo. Luckily Katie had some great photos to work from. Since I have a Pomeranian at home I love doing Pom portraits, but I love doing all breeds, cats, bunnies, and any pet you can think of â¤ď¸
Super excited to finally do this dice eyes reaper off the @gtc_tattooman Worldâs Largest Flash Sheet. Iâve been wanting to tattoo this design for years ever since I first saw it and my great client Hannah picked it off the wall.
I get asked a lot what my favorite things to tattoo is and itâs definitely classic flash designs. Getting to tattoo vintage flash is like a crash course in another tattooerâs thought process and will influence how you draw and design future tattoos. I couldnât be happier to finally cross this design off my list. Thanks Hannah! Swipe to see the original design sheet.
Books are always open, get in touch to book a classic flash tattoo of your own, weâve got plenty to choose from at Best Wishes Tattoo Los Angeles @bestwishestattoo_la

I recently made this single needle euphorbia for Katherine. It was great to recreate all the details in the euphorbia segments, and I also found out there actually not a cactus but a cactus-like succulent. Swipe for close ups. Thanks, Katherine! My books are open for cactus-like and non cactus related tattoos.
Did you know these werenât a cactus?
I had a great time making this @overkillofficial tattoo for Ant. Single needle tattoos are my favorite style to work in and getting to do a version of the Overkill logo was a lot of fun. I have been tattooing Antâs family for 16 years so it was a cool experience to tattoo him now that heâs 18. Thanks Ant!!
More skull tattoos?
I had a lot of fun redrawing and tattooing this Capricorn design from the @gtc_tattooman Charlie Cartwrightâs Worldâs Largest Flash Sheet for Hannah. You may have noticed this sheet in the background of my recent tattoo photos. Getting to tattoo vintage and historical tattoo flash gives the artist an insight into how tattooers before them designed tattoos and I feel like I learn something everytime I have the opportunity to work this way. Getting to tattoo someone elseâs flash is like a mini apprenticeship in their work and style at that time in their career. Learning from flash designed for busy shops also gives you an insight into how tattooerâs worked and can help your designs have an authentic look. This is the sixth tattoo Iâve done off of this sheet of more than two hundred designs, Iâm looking forward to doing more. We have some great flash designs at the Eagle Rock shop and will be adding more soon.
Thank you Charlie Cartwright for everything youâve given to tattooing and thanks Hannah for having me do this tattoo.

More Worldâs Largest Flash Sheet tattoos?
I am still recovering from surgery for throat cancer, but Iâm slowly getting back to work. I made this single needle snake and rose tattoo for Amanda a few months ago. Snakes are always a fun challenge, Iâm psyched on the end result of this project.
